A high-stakes strategy session for Republicans descended into uncomfortable territory when a senator questioned whether President Donald Trump would ever stop picking fights with his own party and start focusing on the midterms.
The confrontation unfolded during a closed-door briefing on midterm messaging and affordability hosted by political operatives James Blair, Alex Latcham, and pollster Tony Fabrizio, according to reporting from Politico’s Playbook.
Sen. Steve Daines cornered Trump’s team, demanding to know when the president would finally pivot from bashing fellow Republicans to targeting political opponents. The Montana lawmaker’s question captured a growing panic inside the GOP, where lawmakers are privately exasperated by Trump’s relentless feuds with other members of his party, even as vulnerable Democrats escape his wrath.
